Samuel Cruz was driving home from work on July 19 when his car drifted to the side of a residential street in Auburn and struck Stacy Ankerfelt as she stood by her car.

Ankerfelt, 28, who had just finished her first year teach-ing fifth grade at Scenic Hills

Elementary School in Kent, never regained con-sciousness. She died of her massive injuries one month later

in a Seattle hospital.Last Friday afternoon,

following the recommen-dation of prosecutor Amy

Freedheim, Judge LeRoy McCullough sentenced Cruz to the maximum 102 months – 8½ years – in prison.

Cruz, 25, who had been under the influence of a prescription drug to help his withdrawal from Oxycon-tin at the time of the crash, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide (DUI) Jan. 2.

Victoria Knight has passed this way before.

Five years ago, on the brightly lit stage of the Auburn Performing Arts Center, she was crowned Miss Washington Out-standing Teen.

On Saturday night, the poised, polished 21-year-old returned to the same stage – this time captur-ing the Miss Auburn title and $9,500 in awards, gifts and scholarships from the

pageant.The Miss Auburn

program is the largest of its kind in the country. Sponsored by the Auburn Noon Lions Club, it is an official preliminary to the Miss Washington and Miss America Scholarship pageants.

As Miss Auburn, Knight automatically qualifies for the Miss Washington Pag-eant later this year.

Work slated to begin Feb. 25 on new high schoolBy ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

The Auburn School Board on Monday awarded the contract to build the new Auburn High School to Lydig Construction, Inc.

Lydig submitted a base bid of $80.3 million but the board incorporated six al-ternate bids, which brought the total contract to $80.6 million.

“The winning bid came in about 4 percent above the cost estimate, but the school district has a bid contingency of 5 percent to cover that,” said Jeff Grose, capital projects supervisor for the school district. “We are well covered in terms of the cost and can still include funds in our budget for change orders.”

Superintendent Kip Herren said the new high school, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2014, “strengthens our traditions and builds our future.”

Groundbreaking on the new high school is Feb. 24. Site work is scheduled to begin Feb. 25.

By incorporating the alter-nate bids, the district covers the costs of the unexpected, for example the possibility

that the contractor may have to remove asbestos from the old high school or excavate contaminated soil.

Lydig Construction is a large Northwest contrac-tor with offices in Spokane, Bellevue and Kennewick. In each of the past five years, it has averaged more than $250 million worth of work.

It was one of four con-tractors to submit bids, and all of them were within 2 percent of each other.

Board member Ray Vefik recalled that the board had approved a dollar amount Sept. 10 and that had been the amount that the district put out to bid Nov. 28.

“What changed that caused this project to go up by another 4 percent?” Vefik asked.

From preliminary con-versations with the contrac-tor, Grose said, site work, demolition and mechanical work may have been higher than what the district had estimated. But to answer Vefik’s question, the district would need to compare the contractor’s costs with its own cost estimates.

“We need to compare numbers with numbers,” Grose said.

Company officials were not present for the contract award Monday, but Grose said its references were “very favorable.”

“I have spoken with them, they are very com-fortable with their bid, and they are very excited about the project,” Grose said.

The district’s project,

which is eligible for state funds, has received a pre-liminary allocation of $29 million, $4 million above what the district told voters last fall it had been expect-ing. Grose said that, also consistent with what the district told voters last fall, the extra $4 million would go into the capital projects fund for future projects.

School district voters approved the $110 million Auburn High School Mod-ernization and Reconstruc-tion Bond with a 62-per-cent supermajority on the November general election ballot. The difference between the contract just awarded and the total bond amounts represents mostly furnishings and equipment for the high school.

Groundbreaking on the new $110 million Auburn High School facility is Feb. 24. Work is scheduled to begin the following day. The school is expected to open in fall 2014. COURTESY RENDERING, NAC Architecture

School board awards contract Public invited to groundbreaking

The ceremony celebrates the community’s support and commitment to provide 21st century teaching and learning environments to all students.

City leaders have formed something entirely new to Auburn – a council of young people to keep the City’s elected leaders up to date on issues that matter to youth.

The Auburn City Council made it

official recently with the creation of the Auburn Junior Council.

Comprised of nine young people, one from each high school and middle school in the Auburn School District, the kids will sink their incisors into youth-related issues, for example gang violence and curfew, and relay their

thoughts to the Auburn City Council.“I am looking forward for them to

be on board, to having the opportu-nity to learn from them and hopefully they will have the opportunity to learn from us as well,” said Auburn City Councilwoman Nancy Backus.

Getting the help, courage to rebuild their lives

Ayla Dodd turns instinctively to her two little girls to help her cope.

When her babes laugh or cry, perhaps de-mand all of busy mom’s undivided attention, Dodd learns to give more of herself.

Inspiring her, comforting her, broadening her perspective, the girls give back.

“Oh, yeah, they keep me on my toes,” said Dodd, 19, fresh from a cherished round of after-school hugs offered up by Izabella, who turns 4 on Feb. 18, and Meera, 2. “They are my joy.”

Family and friends also help Dodd keep going and to do the hard work of walking through the wreckage of her childhood.

Raped at 14, a single mom at 15, running with the wrong crowd and homeless off and on for a year, Dodd lived at one time in what

can best be described as a “meth house.”

And she fell into an abusive relationship.

Only when the court system stepped in did Dodd get the right help. Emotionally and physically battered, she

got the professional guidance she needed at Auburn Youth Resources (AYR) and the tools to rebuild her life.

It hasn’t been easy.“It took me a long time to realize that

it wasn’t something I did,” Dodd said. “It wasn’t right, it wasn’t normal. It was (the man’s) fault. He was hurting me. I’ve gone over that … but the sad thing is I still some-times blame myself … for things I said or done.”

Dodd tells her story as a guest speaker at AYR’s 22nd Valentine Breakfast next Friday at Grace Community Church, the organiza-tion’s largest fundraiser.

Natasha Moore will also describe how she beat back alcoholism and despair to become a successful businesswoman and AYR board member.

For Dodd, finding the right help was everything.

Sticking together: Auburn’s Ayla Dodd has found a new life, enriched by the support of her beloved children – Izabella, 3, and Meera, 2. MARK KLAAS, Reporter

Auburn’s potential park district triggers concerns

I want to state my concern regarding the direction the Au-burn mayor and council seem to be pointing toward when it comes to funding different aspects of city government.

Five or six years ago we started the fire authority so the City could get out from under the over commitment of City funds toward fire support. I be-lieve that removed several mil-lion dollars from the general fund while costing the average household $60 per year.

Management of the fire department moved from the entire City Council to a select few, and we are now making funding commitments on a five-year basis that does not reflect changes to the local economy.

Now the City is thinking of doing something similar with parks. In the words of council-man John Holman, as stated in the Reporter, the bottom line “is that taxes would go up 75 cents per thousand” of home evalua-tion. On a $250,000 house that would be an additional $187. I do not like the idea of a tax increase at this time.

More importantly, I don’t like the concept of the coun-cil moving away from direct control of the budget. When we elect people to the council it is with the expectation that they will learn the importance of each portion of city govern-ment, discover the nuances of

each department and deter-mine what the distribution of monies should be among those departments.

As years pass, that distribu-tion would vary depending on the situation at the moment. In fact, I would expect that deci-sions would be made to change that distribution somewhat ev-ery year. I want every member of the council to be a part of all those decisions, and I do not like the idea of five-year com-mitments that ignore economic changes.

If our council members do not want to be a part of all de-cisions, then I think we should create a real park district like Tacoma, run by separately elected officers and give them total budget authority and di-rect control over their own em-ployees in number and salary; not a paperwork entity created just to generate income.– Dan Shields

Same path for Auburn

I’m all for someone different than our current mayor, but why the same song?

We’ve got parks, parks and more parks. Every year it seems like more parks. Where is the incentive for anyone to visit Auburn, or if they do, to actually stray off the path and shop somewhere? Not much.

The last several terms of “leadership” have taken the town apart. It’s been reduced to open spaces (call them parking lots, if you want to), out of sync traffic lights and empty stores.

Downtown Auburn has become more like a ghost town with a nice train depot.

Auburn needs a different focus than parks. It needs to wake up before it completes the cycle it seems to be headed to-ward: Nothing more than The Gateway to Lakeland Hills.– Rick Williams

No quick fix: Let’s be wise with our spending

I found it contradic-tory when I read the article, “Backus enters mayoral race” (Auburn Reporter, Jan. 25), that one of her main priorities is roads.

Backus, who has been on the Auburn City Council for 10 years, is just now trying to

“You really have to pick and choose your support systems. I’ve had some really bad ones, honestly (from my past),” Dodd said.

Abby White, her therapist at AYR, is her main support.

“For the first two years, Ayla did not smile,” White recalled.

Today she’s found that smile.“And it glows,” White said.Shelley Hall has seen the change

in Dodd, too. Hall, program director at ACAP Child & Fam-ily Services, a nonprofit agency and partner with AYR, works with Dodd’s children while she attends automotive mechanic classes at Green River Community College.

“She’s very strong, resilient and resourceful,” Hall said of Dodd.

Through AYR and its partners, Dodd earned her GED. Today she works part time and lives in her own apartment.

“She’s successful in every way,” Hall added.

Dodd is working on a career. She is married, a relationship that brought Meera into her life.

She has so much to live for.“I’m probably a completely differ-

ent person. I am so much stronger, so much more able because of AYR,” Dodd said.

Regaining her feetNatasha Moore grew up faster,

harder than most kids.Raised by her grandmother,

Moore overcame a broken home, alcoholism and suicidal intentions. Her mother abused drugs, Moore said, her father, alcohol.

Feeling abandoned and victim-ized, Moore resorted to booze to suppress her feelings. Drinking heavily in high school, her addic-tion had taken over her life until a trusted teacher and school coun-selor stepped in.

She eventually built a strong re-lationship at AYR, notably with her

counselor, Dawn Winkes.

“She found her-self and her being,” Winkes said, “and she believes in that today.”

Today Moore, 23, attends GRCC, focusing

on humanities and passionate about art and its history. Moore works at Mud Bay, a healthy pet food retail store, taking charge of inventory and managing staff and sales.

While her mother has long been out of the picture, Moore’s father struggles to stay in Moore’s life.

“I help out wherever I can,” Moore said. “Sometimes I feel like there’s not a lot I can offer skill wise … but I do what I can.”

AYR helped turn her life around,

“They’re the ones who built a re-lationship with me,” she said of AYR staff, “and they are the ones I ended up coming back to. The fact is there’s always hope, even if you’re feeling like you’re drowning and you have no idea of what to do next.”

make an effort to fix the failing roads. Not only that, the council recently voted to reduce the amount of money going to fix our roads from $2 million a year to $1.1-$1.3 million. Speed limits then were reduced “because of the conditions of the roads,” yet in the com-mittee meetings they said it was to reduce the amount of people using Auburn as a thorough-fare.

Let’s not forget the likely tax increase of $5 million a year to pay for these roads that taxpayers are already paying for.

I have suggested to members of the City Council to reduce the amount of money that the City spends before raising taxes. Some examples of excess expenses are the golf course that received about $400,000 from the general fund to cover its losses, or the Auburn Ave Theater that loses another $400,000 a year. We need to look at paying for what we have and being responsible with our finances before asking the tax payers to pay more.

How many times have these career politi-cians told us that they will fix these problems?

We need someone who has the commitment and follow through to do what is needed, not just talk about it. It’s time Auburn should have someone who will tell the truth, to spend taxpayers’ money efficiently, to apply common sense and outside-of-the-box thinking.

I understand not everything is black and white, but we need someone who will stand by their actions, who will look toward the future and put Auburn on the path to prosperity.– Scot Pondelick, candidate for Auburn mayor

At Cruz’ sentencing, people with vivid memo-ries of a young woman who should still have been living but wasn’t, poured out their grief and anger in McCullough’s courtroom at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Ashley Bonus remem-bered her big sister as a woman who was “chang-ing the world with every life she touched,” who “put her whole heart and soul into everything she did,” especially her teaching, and who had used her sum-mer vacation to bring sack lunches to her low-income students because she couldn’t bear the thought that they would go hungry.

Bonus then urged Mc-Cullough to hand down the toughest possible sentence.

“On July 19 Samuel Cruz consciously chose to drive a vehicle while impaired. … Samuel Cruz took an amaz-ing woman from this Earth because he was careless,” Bonus said.

Ankerfelt’s mother, Terri Gammons, wanted the court to know something about the person Cruz had taken from the world.

Her daughter, Gammon said, was “a miracle baby,” who had come into the world despite a difficult pregnancy. Showing gifted-ness early on, Stacy re-ceived a Presidential award at 10 for placing fourth in the country in an academic contest, Odyssey of the Mind. She graduated at the head of her 2002 Auburn Riverside High School class with honors and gradu-ated from the University of Washington as the single student on the dean’s list all four years.

Her daughter and son-in-law, Jason, were trying to have a baby, Gammons recalled.

“She never got the chance to conceive,” Gam-mons said through tears. “Samuel Cruz chose to drive under the influence,

and while my Stacy was rolling up the windows in her car, he bull’s-eyed her, and he ended her life.”

Gammons wanted Cruz never to forget the sight of “my beautiful daughter” lying broken on the pave-ment.

“I’m glad I never saw it, because for the rest of my life, I will see her beauti-ful blue eyes losing their life, as we say goodbye, forever. Please, make sure that Samuel can never kill anyone again and give him the maximum penalty provided by the law”, Gam-mons said.

Stacy’s mother-in-law, Holly Ankerfelt, said Cruz had “forever taken the life and breath” from her grief-stricken son. The couple, she said, had met in high school, and Stacy was the love of her son’s life.

“His grieving is very extensive, still,” Ankerfelt said. “… He can’t get past the pain.”

Cruz, seated alongside his attorney, Douglas Woods, wept.

Woods said Cruz hadn’t known that the medication he was taking would affect him as it did, had no inten-tion of hurting anyone, and was sincerely sorry for what had happened.

Cruz’s family and friends urged mercy in the sen-tencing.

Cruz, said a fam-ily friend, was a young man who was working to shake his addiction. He had a good job, paid his taxes, and had been trying “so hard” to turn his life around.

Then Cruz, sobbing, addressed the Ankerfelt family.

“I had no intention of going out and taking your loved one’s life,” Cruz said. “I’d do anything to take back that day, but unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

Bonney Lake resident Samuel J. Cruz struck and killed Auburn resident and Kent schoolteacher Stacy Ankerfelt last summer while driving under the influence of a prescription drug.

Cruz, who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide (DUI), was sentenced last week to 8½ years in prison, the maximum sentence allowed under new Washington

state guidelines that went into effect in June for drivers who kill someone while driving impaired.

Mothers Against Drunk Driv-ing (MADD) joined prosecutors to push for stiffer sentences. MADD is a national advocacy group that supports victims of impaired drivers, and lobbies to stop driving under the influence and underage drinking.

“MADD believes that our judicial system plays an important role in the fight against drunken

driving,” said Amy Ezzo, manager of MADD. “MADD believes that all impaired driving violations resulting in the death or serious bodily injury should be felo-nies and that penalties for these offenses should be equal. Fines and sentences for DUIs should be proportionate to the level and severity of the crime, and MADD believes that the new sentenc-ing guidelines are a step in that direction.

“Drunken driving is a 100-per-

cent preventable crime, and yet someone is killed by a drunken driver every 52 minutes in the U.S.,” Ezzo said.

The new sentencing guide-lines increase the penalties for vehicular homicide (DUI) from 31-41 months in prison to 78-102 months.

King County Prosecutor Amy Freedheim recommended the maximum sentence for Cruz, who was among the first in King County to be charged and the first in the state to be sentenced under the new guidelines.

“The new law puts homicide by

impaired driving in line with oth-er acts constituting manslaughter,” King County Prosecuting Attor-ney Dan Satterberg wrote after the new guidelines went into effect.

The new guidelines are an important addition to the arsenal used to stop impaired driving, Ezzo said.

“MADD believes that stiffer sentences demonstrate our com-mitment to eliminating drunken driving and making our roads safer,” she said.

Officials push for stiffer DUI sentences

60th WEDDiNG ANNivErSAry Congratulations to Jim and Joan Sheffield for 60 years together and

WA. Four children: Catherine Kelsay,

Annette Hinze, James Sheffield, Kelly Cockrell.

Seven each grand and great-grandchildren.

the stage helped Knight shine in a deep, talented field of 16 other contestants.

“I think it’s so very important to have that experience,” Knight said afterward. “I almost never see girls try once and be successful in every (phase of competition). But now all of these girls who are runner-ups will have the opportunity to come back. … That experience is just a

foot in the door.”Auburn’s Salina Ellison

was first runner-up and Kent’s Heather Haggin was second runner-up, followed by Auburn’s Savanna Steph-an-Borer (third runner-up), Auburn’s Jessica Justice (fourth runner-up) and Auburn’s Morgan Warren (fifth runner-up).

Knight liked her chances but didn’t expect the crown.

“I thought I would place, make the top five,” Knight said. “But I did not know

that I would win it, so I am very thrilled. I’m excited, especially to represent such a great city.

“I’m very surprised,” Knight said after receiving congratulatory hugs from contestants, family and friends. “A lot of hard work went into this, especially the areas of the competi-tion that are not natural to me. … The entire process is what I worked on.”

The new Miss Auburn wants to take it a step

further.“It’s been such a long

time since Auburn has had a Miss Washington. I plan to make that my goal, to get them back on the map,” Knight said.

Devanni Partridge, Miss Auburn 2007, won the Miss Washington crown in 2009 as Miss Seattle. Amber Ham-ilton, Miss Auburn 1995, won Miss Washington the same year, the first woman to do so from the city.

Knight, daughter of Heidi and James Krajewski, grad-uated from Rogers High School of Puyallup before moving to Auburn. She is a junior at the University of Washington-Tacoma, where she is pursuing her masters in communications and studying nonprofit management. She wants to

become a charitable events coordinator for a nonprofit organization.

An outstanding student, leader and speaker, Knight co-founded Queens for a Cure, was an assistant director for multiple youth theaters, represented Rog-ers High as a Daffodil Prin-cess and served in student government.

Knight ran on the plat-form: Passionately Pink: Community, Commitment, Cure! (for breast cancer).

For her talent segment, Knight, an experienced vocal theater performer, sang Queen’s “Somebody to Love.”

Knight was sponsored by the Auburn Noon Lions. Isabella Rose Mills served as her Little Sister.

In the eight-strong Miss

Auburn Outstanding Teen competition, Amanda Enz took the crown. She ran on the platform: Cancer – Search for a Cure, and performed a jazz dance.

“I’m so happy,” Enz said. “I wasn’t sure about my chances because all the contestants were lovely, and I thought everybody deserves to win.”

In addition to her awards, gifts and scholarship money, Enz qualifies for the Miss Washington Outstanding Teen competition.

Enz, 14, a student at Rainier Middle School, is the daughter of Kim and Derek Enz, of Auburn.

Kelsey Barrett was first runner-up and Sophia Tekola was second runner-up.

NotesCelebrating its 51st year, as of Tuesday, the Miss Auburn showcase had generated more than $52,000 in gifts, awards and scholarships for its contestants … Tera Sabo (Miss Auburn) and Allison Arthur (Miss Auburn Outstanding Teen) passed on the crowns. … The Miss Auburn Scholarship Program honored Nancy Backus with a lifetime achievement award. Backus spent 33 years with the program, beginning as a contestant and concluding as its president for 24 years. ... Tamie Bothell follows Backus as the pageant’s president and co-executive producer. ... Sharon Bartkowski also received a lifetime achievement award for 24 years of work with the program. She served as a board member, printer, sponsor and mentor to contestants. … Bartkows-ki’s late husband, Joe, was honored as the pageant’s 2013 Local Hero. Joe Bartkowski served on the board and produced the program for 20 years. The Bartkowskis also were contestant sponsors and scholarship donors.

What Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis saw of similar junior youth councils last winter on his yearly trip to the National Conference of Mayors in Washington D.C., inspired him to explore the benefits of getting one up and go-ing here.

“This started out with conversations with our school superinten-dent, and I think it’s something that’s long overdue,” said Lewis. “It’s going to add to this

body as well.”Councilman Bill

Peloza suggested early on that a junior council could provide quite the civics lessons to kids.

“I think that this runs into a trend in local government, it’s a dead ringer for it,” Peloza said. “High schools re-ally lack, in my opinion, structure. We’re talking about kids coming into local government, understanding local government and what it does, what do council members do, what do mayors do.”

To be seen, heard and read is a dif-ficult challenge for fledgling authors in today’s oversaturated, competitive book business.

“Especially with the way publishing is changing right now,” said Ashlyn Mathews, an emerging novelist who grew up in Auburn. “Anyone can self-publish. … In a week there could be thousands of books released … and how do you stand out from all those authors?”

Mathews has made a splash in quite a short time, attracting favorable re-views and a strong following, despite producing stories in a crowded genre of paranormal and contemporary romances.

Her self-published first book, “If Only”, reached No. 6 on Amazon’s top 100 free contem-porary romance short stories in only nine days.

She has fol-lowed with a pair of full-length, paranor-mal dark, soulful romance novels – “Shadow Watcher” and “My Fallen” – af-ter picking up a

contract with Adams Media, a major book publisher.

“Shadow Watcher”, set in the Pacific

Northwest, debuted last fall. “My Fallen”, which was released recently, is about a normally quiet and polite vampire slayer who is asked to help an arrogant and selfish de-mon, but trouble ensues.

Having realized her dream of becoming a published author, Mathews hopes her pursuit will inspire others to try.

“Sure, it’s a struggle, finding time to write and promote,” said Mathews, a wife, soccer mom of four boys and full-time registered nurse at Se-attle’s Swedish Hospital. “I would like to write more … I want to get my name out there more.”

Mathews and her family immigrated from Laos in the 1970s, settling in Auburn.

She began writing stories in middle school. But it wasn’t until two years ago when she took her children to see “Tangled”, Disney’s animated musical fantasy-comedy film, that Mathews was inspired to write a book.

The best part of writing, Mathews explains, is building a paranormal romance around the complexity of issues. Her books tackle dark subjects – from betrayal to abuse – and how they relate to family.

Her writing style?“It tends to be angsty but also sweet,”

she said. “I am trying to basically estab-lish what authors call a voice … the way

you string your words together, the way you present a story.”

Her stories often bring a happy ending.

Mathews admits she’s been bitten by the writing bug, a “curse”, she insists. She already is working on her next project – a trilogy scheduled for a fall release.

“It’s very cathartic for me,” Mathews said of her writing. “It brings out my creative side. … I hope people take a chance on me.”

Mathews is a member of the Greater Seattle Romance Writers Association, Rose City Romance Writers and North-west Independent Writers Association.

A FITTING CONCLUSION

It has long been known that individuals with high degrees of cardiorespiratory fit-ness live longer. Now, more recent research shows that being physically fit during middle age also leads to decreases in non-fatal chronic disease later in life. Now that we know that greater fitness leads to both improved life qual-ity and quantity, how does a person go about getting fit? One of the most effective ways to get in shape, at any age, is to get a fitness partner. Walking and working out in groups help ensure that an in-dividual will stay with a fitness routine be-cause fitness partners reinforce each other with their enthusiasm and commitment. People who exercise together stay engaged.

We hope that you found this topic to be both interesting and informative. At PARK-SIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we understand the impor-tance of keeping our senior residents as active as possible. We provide them with a wide variety of group exercise op-tions; offering activities that suit differing levels of mobility and agility. To learn more about what we offer, contact us today at (253) 939-1332. You are invited to tour our unique senior com-munity, conveniently located at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been serv-ing seniors since 1972. We look forward to meet-ing you!

19th century England.Now with L.A. Theatre

Works and Auburn Bravo Series bringing Austen’s book to life on stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9 at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, the time is ripe to celebrate the 200th anni-versary of its publication.

The production has captured the essence of the classic story in a radio-play style format complete with live sound effects creation on stage.

“L.A. Theatre Works has a long history of produc-ing outstanding theater, and this is storytelling at its best,” said Majia McKnight, City of Auburn arts coordinator, “They don’t have super neat sets, but all of the actors are dressed in costume, and a lot of the focus is on the words and the sounds of the story itself. The com-pany comes with someone who, from offstage, just focuses on the sound effects of what’s going on all around the actors, like the clippity-clop of horses’ hooves or the bang of a

book dropping.”Nicholas Hormann and

Jane Carr, both with many silver screen credits to their names, star as Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, the aging parents of the five Bennet sisters.

Austen’s works of roman-tic fiction are popular even today, earning her a place as one of the most beloved writers in English literature.

“The Auburn Library is so excited to be working

with the City of Auburn and a couple of other great agencies … around this community reading campaign for ‘Pride and Prejudice,’” said Steven Bai-ley, manager of the Auburn Library. “This idea started last year when the City approached us and told us they were planning to bring a stage production to the Performing Arts Center. The plans started to roll from there.”

As part of the fun, several members of Green River Community College’s Eng-lish faculty will come to the library to lecture on various Austen-centered topics.

Bailey said the library has free copies of Austen’s work to distribute throughout the community and has planned book discussion groups throughout Febru-ary and March. It will show screen adaptations of “Pride and Prejudice” and other Austen works and host a high tea March 10 at the Auburn Senior Activities Center.

You can learn a lot of life’s lessons in 19 years of coaching.

For Auburn Mountain-view girls basketball coach Chris Carr, who retires from coaching at the end of the season, the lessons he’s learned from athletes he’s coached will continue to resonate.

“There is not one game that I’ll remember forever,” Carr said. “It’s like I always tell the kids, it’s the journey, not the destination. But I’ll always remember the kids that had an impact on me and my life. Even in a non-basketball way.”

Carr’s journey in coach-ing began in 1994 when he took the helm of the White

River girls basketball team.For the next two years,

Carr guided the Lady Hor-

left and become a state 3A powerhouse.

After White River, Carr tried his hand coaching a boys program at Yelm High School.

The year proved trying be-cause of ‘various reasons away from the court,” Carr said. But, he added, thanks to “the good friends I made there,” it was still a rewarding experience.

Eager to land a coaching job closer to his home in Kent, Carr jumped at the

chance to coach at the brand new Kentlake High School when it opened in 1995.

“I was 3-17 at Yelm, so I wasn’t sure if I was market-able,” Carr said. “Luck-ily, Dave [Lutes, Kentlake’s Athletic Director at the time] took a chance on me.”

For the next four years Carr guided the Falcon boys basketball team, getting his first taste of what it takes to establish a program from the foundation up.

“There is just something

about starting your own program,” he said. “I’m the type of guy who likes build-ing something from scratch. I just was never the kind of guy who wants to take over a established program and keep it at that level. I want to establish something.”

Carr continued:“I love the challenge of

taking a brand new program and making it something. My second year at Kentlake, we’re in the district tourna-ment out of a tough 4A league.”

In 1999 Carr decided to return to coaching girls basketball.

“There were two reasons,” Carr said. “The first part was I had an amazing group of athletes, including an Olympic athlete, Courtney Thompson, [who played for the Team U.S.A. volleyball team in the 2012 Olympics]. I think we had four Division I kids – not in basketball but in other sports – on that team. And I knew I might never get the opportunity again to coach that much talent.”

The prospect of getting the chance to coach his two daughters, Caitlin and Aly, when they hit high school was the other factor.

“They grew up in a gym, and I could see they were go-ing to be basketball players,”

he said. “And I thought ‘Am I going to be the guy coaching another team away while they’re playing?’ And I didn’t want to be that guy,” he said.

For five years Carr coached the Lady Falcons. During that time, he said, he learned a valuable lesson. And Thompson was his teacher.

“I realized with Courtney’s group that it was more about the journey,” he said. “Sometimes I would pick her (Thomp-son) up. Her mom would call and tell me she was running home again after a game. I would get her and tell her that there were bigger things than just the game. I think I learned that relaxing was important. I learned from her that win-ning wasn’t the only thing, it was about getting better every day.”

In 2005, when Auburn Mountainview High School opened Carr again earned another opportunity to mold a brand new program.

Under his guidance the Li-ons have become a consistent contender in the South Puget Sound League 3A division

and have qualified for the state tourney three times, finishing eighth in 2007.

At Auburn Mountainview Carr was able to fulfill his dream of coaching Caitlin – who graduated last year and is now playing basketball for Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho – and Aly – who is a senior this season.

This past Saturday, the school honored Carr before the Lions’ home game against Peninsula. In addi-tion to friends and family, several of Carr’s former play-ers attended.

“It was bittersweet I’m going to miss a lot the inter-action with kids,” Chris said. “But I’m definitely at peace with it. I’m ready. The AD

piece [Carr is the Auburn Mountainview athletic direc-tor] keeps me pretty busy and I’ll always have that interac-tion with athletes.”

Still he says it’s hard to leave this year’s team, which includes 11 underclassmen.

“In my 19 years this is probably the top two or three of all the teams I’ve ever coached,” he said.

Reflecting on his nearly 20-year-long coaching career, Carr said:

“I don’t really have any regrets about how I did it. Like I said, I’ve learned more than I’ve taught.”

[ cOAcH from page 12]

Coach Carr wasn’t the only member of his family recognized this past Saturday at Auburn Mountainview. Carr’s youngest daughter Aly, the Lions’ lone senior, was also recognized for her high school career. On Jan. 22 Aly suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Bonney Lake. “It was devastating, more as a father than a coach,” Carr said. “I kind of knew right away that it was serious. It was deviating knowing she couldn’t play high school again.”According to Carr, Peninsula girls basketball coach Steve Jacobson arranged for Aly to suit up and receive the game’s opening tip-off, despite her injury. More than curtail-ing her basketball career, Aly’s injury will also cause her to miss the Washington State 4A Girls Golf tourney, which she qualified for this fall.“I was going to attempt to walk and play golf at Eastern Washington University,” Ally said. “But now with this injury, it makes me want to walk and play basketball too. I feel like I never finished basketball now.”Aly continued:“This has taught me a lot, it taught me to not take anything for granted,” she said. “You never know when your last practice or game can be. It’s pretty crazy to think I’ll never play a high school basketball game again.”And for the record, Aly said, she has her doubts about her father’s retirement.“It’s pretty crazy to think he’s actually done,” she said. “I still don’t think he’s done forever. I think he’ll come back. But that’s just me, I don’t think he can stay away.”

Auburn duo raising funds to compete internationallyBy SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Joe and David Holden will have the opportunity of a lifetime this summer.

For David, 37, it’s a chance to lead the USA Junior Karate team at the 19th annual Maccabiah Games on July 17-30 in Israel.

For Joe, 15, an Auburn Mountain-view High School student, it’s a chance to compete on his father’s team.

The Maccabiah Games, which are staged every four years following the Olympics, attract more than 7,000 athletes of Jewish-descent from 60 countries. It is the third largest inter-national sporting event in the world.

“It’s extremely exciting,” David said. “This is the highest level I’ve been able to coach at, so that’s exciting, and I get to coach Joe and other athletes from all over the country.”

For the past seven years, the Holdens have competed and trained with the Japan Karate Federation Northwest team based at the Auburn Valley Y.

David was first approached about competing in the games four years ago.

“I wasn’t able to compete at that time because of injuries,” he said. “But my son was up and coming at the time, so I asked him if he would be interested in competing. He was gung ho about it. It’s been his goal for the last few years.”

The Holdens travelled to Miami in December to qualify for the USA Maccabiah Junior Karate team.

“Joe did wonderfully. He did a great job and was immediately accepted for the team,” David said.

At the same event, David – who has coached the Auburn Y team at national events for the past couple of years – was approached about leading the U.S. Junior Karate team. He ap-plied and was chosen.

David is excited about the upcom-ing games and the chance to experi-ence a foreign culture.

“The competition part is only one piece of it,” he said. “The first week is the Israel Connects program, where they take you around to see all the

history. I love history, so knowing that everywhere you turn, you’re going to be looking at history that is much older than the U.S. is exciting.

“(But) after the first week, it’s time to knuckle down and train,” David said. “It’s very cool. It’s different than most competitions where it’s go, train, compete and leave.”

All that remains for David and Joe is raising money to fund the trip and inclusion in the games.

“Every person makes a yachad commitment. Yachad is a Hebrew word, which means together, and every person makes a commitment to raise a certain amount,” David said.

For David and Joe, that amount is $10,500 between them.

“We have a couple of sponsorships and donations already,” David said.

To contribute to David visit www.friendraising.towercare.com/Markslist/campaign/viewDetails.do?campaignId=12143. To contribute to Joe visit www.friendraising.tower-care.com/Markslist/campaign/viewD-etails.do?campaignId=12420

Then, just after the league tourney, during a visit to the doctor, Jones got bad news. He had spinal stenosis.

“My bone is too big for my spinal cord, so in certain conditions it pinches my spi-nal cord,” Jones said. “It was really hard to hear. I cried when I got the news.”

Spinal stenosis is a nar-rowing of the spinal column that puts pressure on the nerves there. The condition often left Jones’ left arm numb and useless, with pain like electric shocks shooting down his arm. Something as simple as rolling on his neck

the wrong way, Jones said, would bring on the pain.

“I didn’t believe it at first, I didn’t think something like that could happen,” Jones said. “They said it was just something that I grew into.”

Although his doctor told him he would most likely grow out of the condition by age 25, Jones made the tough choice and curtailed his on-the-mat career.

“The doctor never really gave me a no,” Jones said. “He told me that the choice was mine.”

Despite choosing not to wrestle, Jones couldn’t completely remove himself

from the gym.“As a sophomore, I helped

score, video tape, set up mats, anything I could help with,” he said.

Recognizing Jones’ dedi-cation to the sport, Raven wrestling coach Steve Mead made an unusual decision.

“I decided not to make him a manager,” Mead said. “I decided to make him a coach. He probably wasn’t old enough as a sophomore for the other kids to buy in and believe he could help. So I put him in charge of the younger kids.”

By the time Jones was a junior, Mead said, he had progressed and was working

with all of the wrestlers on the squad.

Although he got a bit of a wrestling fix helping his teammates, Jones said it was still hard to stay away from the mat.

“It was really hard, I’d sometimes go home really depressed,” he said.

To fill the void he found a new hobby.

“I started culinary arts, and that became my new thing,” Jones said. “I plan on opening a restaurant some day.”

Despite his newfound passion for cooking, Jones said, he couldn’t pass up his final chance to wrestle as a prep athlete.

“This year, as a senior, I couldn’t take watching the other kids wrestle, so I decided to give it a shot,” he said.

Mead said that when the time came for the squad to vote on team captains this year, the team overwhelm-ingly picked Jones.

“They voted him a captain without even knowing he was going to wrestle this year,” Mead said.

Although Jones admits that his comeback hasn’t been spectacular results-wise – he is 1-3 in dual competitions and recently won the Bonney Lake junior varsity tournament – the whole experience has taught

him a valuable lesson. “LIfe throws tough stuff

at you,” he said. “You can’t stay at home and stay sorry for yourself. You just have to pick yourself up.”

And, more important, it showed him that it’s possible to stay involved in the sport he loves after his on-the-mat wrestling career ends.

“I’d love to become a head coach,” Jones said.

Mead said it would be a perfect fit for Jones.

“I don’t see most of the kids going into coaching,” Mead said. “I talk to all the kids about refereeing and giving back to the sport. But Spencer I see going on and coaching.”

Joe and David Holden recently earned the chance to represent the United States of America in Karate at the 19th annual Maccabiah Games this summer in Israel. The duo is raising money to fund their trip to the games. PhoTo CoUrTeSy, David Holden
